On this criterion, only R. loti, B. melitensis, A. tumefaciens and S. meliloti exhibited similarities of flanking-gene organization, and this is phylogenetically congruent.
Arabidopsis thaliana (ecotype Columbia) plants were transformed by dipping the influorescence of flowering plants into transformation solution (5% (w/v) sucrose and 0.05% (v/v) Silwet L-77) with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101/MP90 transformed with pEL700 or pEL702.
To test the validity of word counting as a solution to the problem, we identified a set of 50 gene sequences from plants ( M. truncatula and G. max ), oomycetes ( Phytophthora ), zygomycetes ( Glomus versiforme ), and bacteria ( Sinorhizobium meliloti and Agrobacterium tumefaciens ), for which the function and origin have been characterized experimentally.
Sequences from several species of the genus Phytophthora were correctly distinguished from plant and bacterial sequences, and three genes from Agrobacterium tumefaciens were correctly identified as representing a bacterial sequence.
Interestingly, models of bacterial evolution suggest HGT as a mechanism of adaptation into either symbiosis or parasitism [ 32 ] . This is specifically thought to be the case for divergent species of rhizobia, such as the symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti and the pathogen Rhizobium radiobacter (formerly known as Agrobacterium tumefaciens ), where differential selection and gene maintenance is likely to be responsible for different lifestyle strategies [ 33 ] .
